A light summer haze made the I visibility poor, but full-throated "Bancais" arose from the waiting crowds when finally the giant Zeppelin was sighted in the distance, with the sun glinting on ita silvery sides.

Among the crowd, which was estiin ated as at least 16,000, were the Minis-! Lers of War, Navy, and Commurica- tions, and the German Ambassador while several hundred bluejackets were busy preparing to assist the airship's Landing.

As soon as she was sighted four naval planes and the "Europa," in- which Baron Huenefeld flew to Japan from Germany last year, soared up- wards to greet the great leviathan, which three other aircraft was already

Flying at a height of 300 metres, the Zeppelin loomed nearer, its appearance directly overhead at 4.18 p.m. evoking a fresh outburst of cheering and way- ing handkerchiefs, while the naval

A Free Ticket Continuing, Lillius said that he had travelled on the N.Y.K. ships with a free passenger's ticket because he was on publicity work and a journalist, and asked the Magistrate to have the case ended by September 1, as that was his ! sailing date.
